Gnome menu -> OB3 pipe menu?

Since some Gnome apps (*cough*Quod Libet*cough*) don't come with .desktop files, thereby thwarting Menumaker, I'd like to set up the Gnome menu as a pipe menu... Evidently obm-xdg (provided by OBMenu from the AUR) can print out a menu, like this:

<xml>
<openbox_pipe_menu>
        <menu>
                <item>
                        <action>
                                <execute>
                                        htmlview http://bugs.archlinux.org
                                </execute>
                        </action>
                </item>
                <item>
                        <action>
                                <execute>
                                        htmlview http://www.archlinux.org/people.php
                                </execute>
                        </action>
                </item>
                <item>

                                <execute>
                                        gnome-system-log
                                </execute>
                        </action>
                </item>
        </menu>
</openbox_pipe_menu>

But damned if I can figure out how to use obm-xdg in a pipe menu. Could someone help me with this?

Re: Gnome menu -> OB3 pipe menu?

add this to the menu.xml of your openbox

<menu execute="obm-xdg" id="xdg-menu" label="xdg"/>
